"Alone With A Friend" is the debut album from LA modern psychedelic shoegaze outfit Talk In Tongues. This record demonstrates the band's handle on a wide swath of sounds and textures, and reflects on their influences which range from Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd to early Creation bands like Ride and Jesus and Mary Chain. Though they are certainly well-versed in their sonic predecessors, Talk In Tongues have crafted a sound and an album that is truly their own.
